get the fuck out out of my way you long dogocat SHOO

who stretched this dog

>>2365091
yeah get a pond heater. The right one(s) will keep you fine

>>2365091
>>2365148
You can also just do what all the pro koi people do and have an indoor tank to keep them in during the cold months.

Especially since it's only 50-75G. That's small potatoes.

The only tricky part is to keep the biofilter alive or get it ready for the winter months on time since half of the year the aquarium is not stocked.

>>2365148
are there any you suggest?

>>2365161

or maybe even turtles or amphibians; any easy aquatic animal

Imagine the omelette you could make with a kiwi egg.

It sounds like you don't play with her nor give her any entertainment at all anon

>>2364528
I try keeping her entertained with a laser pointer before bed but she outlasts the batteries most nights. Even then she'll only sleep for a few hours before waking me up again. I'm pretty sure that's not normal, right?

>>2364529
You just play with her with a laser pointer?
1- laser pointers are shit if not followed by something they can actually catch, they get all pent up and frustrated.
2- that's not even close to enough.
You need maaaany toys, anon. Toys it can use on its own, toys it can use with you, soft toys, hard toys, food toys, etc. Kittens need lots of stimuli. You better get it used to playing with toys instead of the furniture. Also get it something to scratch. Playing a lot will help it relax and will make it sleep more.

corgicare.com has everything you need to know about the little dudes
Basically, they're small herding dogs, so they need lots of activity or they can become destructive. They're ok to have in apartments as long as you give them plenty of activity outside. I wouldn't know which doggo is best for you

>>2364167
Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out. My roomates and I are moving to a new apartment in a few years, and I'm trying to find out if there are any good apartment dogs. I heard Corgi's are good companion dogs online, so I've been looking into them.

>>2364156
Pembrokes are slightly smaller than Cardigans, the main differences other than that mostly dealing with coat and tail standards.

They are humungous assholes especially to other dogs when they are younger, mellowing out greatly sometime after being fully grown.

I think it comes with the same sentiment that anti-vax parents have but with pet owners. As in they think it's toxic but then their kid gets measles or their puppy gets parvo and they regret it immensely.

I don't know much about this, and I am generally for vaccinating your animals, but iirc there's a vaccine (I think for feline leukemia) that has a high chance of causing complications, so sometimes vets advise against it if your cat is strictly indoor and doesn't risk coming into contact with other infected cats.

>>2363472
I know the feline leukemia vaccine isn't considered a "core" vaccine and if a vet pushes for that with an indoor cat I generally think it's just for the money.

Does a vaccine ever stop working? Anyone know if they actually need done once a year or is that just a precaution?

i think this whole hawk thing will work out for you better because you live in UK

>inb4 OP is a fag
>inb4 bait

Don't get a fucking hawk you dumbass.
If this isn't bait, get a dog, a hunting dog, and put yourself to good use. Become a social member of society with a Setter (maybe even an English setter *wink* *wink*) and learn to hunt birds.

This will not only get you a great companion, but may give you a good skill (ie- hunting) which'll help you impress a lady, as well as other people.

Jesus though you sound like a total fag please dont get a hawk.

>>2363407
>so that I would have a friend

Raptors have zero desire to be your friend, and are pretty much mindless hunting machines. They're solitary by nature, outside of breeding season, and will not form any kind of bond with you outside of viewing you as a food machine, and possibly a mate during mating season.

Harris hawks are more social, but that's not saying much when you're talking about raptors.

Raptors really are assholes.

There's also the Pokémon "relicanth," modeled after it.

No idea though mate. When I was on a work study there I met a girl who had a button of one on her backpack. Didn't strike me what it was till now, though.

>tfw you catch two coelacanth in a row on a rainy day in Animal Crossing

my dog trips people all the fucking time
she's a moron that gets too excited to see people

>>2362231
Yeah, a shitbull got out in my neighborhood and kept trying to mount my female rottie while I was out walking her.
I shoved him off, got in between, tried to look as tall as possible, and had a staring competition with the shitbull. Luckily it bought my bluff, probably believing it was outnumbered, and took a submissive posture while following us another few blocks.
